hesitation involving my rtek 1.7 possibly
i just installed my rteik 1.7 and i have a super AFC-1 i was wondering if there are any settings that i have to change becuase im getting a hesitation right before boost. its light to medium load on the engine and in vacuum. can the settings on the safc be causing this?
sorry for the 2x post i just thought that it might ACUALLY get seen here

Put you SAFC to INITIALIZE and then try the car out. Just write down your present settings and then put them back in the SAFC after doing your test.
Another good hint: Buy a good Wideband for your car to go with the SAFC. I don''t see how you'll get the max use out of the SAFC unless you do that or go to a Tuner Shop.

also check your TPS. Your TPS might have a blow open which could lead to hesitation at that throttle point.
It shouldn't be the Rtek. It's just an ECU upgrade.
Check your grounds. Add one to your boost sensor(almost destroyed the hesitation in my car) then one to the ECU/firewall/tranny/battery.

an SAFC2 and a wideband costs less than most standalones.
but really it is a good idea to save for a wideband to tune properly, i don't disagree that you can tune an engine fairly well by feel and sound but you can't tell what the mixtures are at without a measuring device, without one it is a roll of the dice whether you are running at the brink of disaster or not without even knowing it.

I can't see how anyone with a standalone or a SAFC could go through life without having a wideband in the car, permanently installed.
You'd think a Standalone would have a wideband built in the hardware. I guess not.
I'd suspect your engine is running rich. Tooooo rich. It's bogging down. Fortunatly you can't prove me right or wrong. humor

Like I said. The ECU is still stock so you will have ALL the stock problems like injector hesitation. It's a stock ECU with a fuel map change.
You do the normal fixes like grounding the **** out of everything. When I stripped back some of my boost sensor ground wire I saw that it was green/brown with nasty oxidation and ****. These cars have 15+ year old wire harnesses which have been subjected to water/cold/heat/and vibration.

i still need to do some research on what kit is the most accurate for the price and easy to work with(hand controller or digital/analog readout that store data). i was looking at the LM1 but haven't decided yet.
they are easy to install, all you need to do is drill a hole about 3/4 the way down the exhaust and weld in a bung and install the sensor and wire up the electronics.
maybe me, you and nick could all split the price of a single unit that way all we would need is to buy an induvidual sensor for each car. that way we could buy a better unit with better options since they are not exactly cheap.
